Mitchell Froom is of course known for his production work (Bangles, Crowded House, Los Lobos, Latin Playboys, Suzanne Vega). He is less known for his own musical expertise, the recordings of which actually give you an idea why musicians hire him. This time around he takes an unusual approach, recording an album that is piano only (with a few synth layers here and there). Quiet, relective, with melodies and motifs that make you think you've known them for years... yet sound fresh and different at the same time. This is the perfect record to put on as a final chill-out after a long night of partying... or in fact the first thing you put on the morning after while you prepare breakfast. In the most positive of meanings, this is music to think to, read to, talk to or just relax to. Never sappy, never clichéd. Well done, Mr. Froom, now that is no small achievement.

Great Record! Everyone that has heard it has asked me who it was. I answered "Mitchell Froom" and they undoubtedly replied "who?". I guess most people don't know who he is. I've always loved his production work, so I decided to give this album a try. I notice that currenty, used copies of this cd only cost a dollar and some change, so there is no excuse for not giving it a listen. It will be the best dollar that you've ever spent:)
